As public attention on controversy surrounding Louisiana College has grown, 10 members of the school's Board of Trustee on Friday issued a statement voicing concerns of a lack of transparency and abuse of power from the president of the college and the executive director of the Louisiana Baptist Convention.

"This issue has never been about theology, personal preference or a 'satanic attack,'" the letter said. "It has been about the abuse of power and authoritarian control. We are concerned with truth and transparency and we believe the Convention should be concerned about the same."
